Time
Once a year
We come together
To celebrate
The birth of someone wonderful
Which happens to be you
Happy Birthday
Presence
A birthday
A time for presents
But also
A time for the presence of
Friends and family
Who all come
Together as one
In celebration
Of another year of life
With your firm presence
Happy Birthday
Happy Things
Birthdays are
Full of happy things
But
The best part of a birthday
Is celebrating
Being with
You
Happy Birthday
Regret
Don’t regret
You’re getting older
Think of it
As gaining a little wisdom
Each year you’re alive
Just joking
You are getting older
Another
Year older
Happy Birthday
A Memory
Each year gives you
A few treasured memories
Good times spent
With your family and friends
To reflect back on
Each birthday
Here’s to many more
Birthdays and memories
Magical
A birthday
Brings back memories
From a time
When birthdays were magical
Wait just a minute
They still are
Happy Birthday
Done
A birthday
Brings home family
And your friends
For a joyful reunion
Who am I kidding
Most of us
Just came here to get
Some good food
Followed by ice cream
And birthday cake
Happy Birthday
Joy
Joy, joy, joy
Count the years of joy
All the years
All the many, many years
All the many, many years
All the many, many years
On this your _____ birthday.
Had to rub it in
Happy Birthday
From Me to You
A birthday wish
From me to you
Just a few words
Then I’m all through
A birthday wish
For your special day
Oh crap, I forgot
What I wanted to say
Happy ____ Birthday
Special
What’s so special
About a birthday
___The ice cream
___The cake
___The presents
___None of the above
The answer is clear
Birthdays are about
Celebrating you
Happy Birthday
Song
What would you do
If I sang out of tune
Nothing because
You wouldn’t get
Your birthday gift
Happy Birthday
Another Birthday
Ah another birthday
As you get older
They seem to come
Faster and faster
I guess at your age
Each birthday seems like
They happened yesterday
Happy Birthday
